DayZ Antialiasing

[irbullet 0]

I started up dayz for the first time and joined a server, I realized was receiving 25-27 FPS.

I messed around a little and it didn't get much better, But then I disabled antialiasing and it hopped up 25 fps? o.O

Question is, Do I need / want antialiasing or is it not that noticable?

Specs

16 GB RAM

i7 3770K

Nvidia GTX 550Ti (Will be upgrading soon probably)

Thanks, And I'm new to DayZ

DayZ needs a lot of memory, though Anti-Aliasing ( AA as some people call it ) smooths the edges around models, it isnt near nessecary to have it, I reccomend turning down your resolution though, this helped me

Edit: My rig is much worse then yours and i usually get around 30-40 FPS

Anti aliasing smooths the pixilated or jagges edges you can get on some images/graphics. It's really your call. If you're happy with how it looks without AA and you're enjoying the improved frame rate then go with it. Like most graphics options, you just have to find the right balance between performance and appearance.

Alright, Thanks to you both. Your opinion, Is it worth the performance?

This is temporary until xmas anyways when I get my 7950.

I don't know how to talk to people via text chat or whatever it's called :/

If anyone has steam and could help me a bit, That'd be nice

**EDIT**

It doesn't look that bad :P With AA off I can turn up other settings to make up for it!

If your game begins to lag with it on...keep it off. I don't really think it's worth the performance.

I agree, I turned everything up to high / very high other then AA and ugly post processing to make up for the loss of AA.
